Sorry to bore everyone with another faucet picture. But this was so amazing I had to get the pic. All I did was crop and boost the contrast on this high-def shot. I recommend a handy little app called “rotate and crop” which does exactly what you think it might do, along with functions for adjusting brightness and contrast.

UPDATE: I added a severely cropped B&W version. (Using Simply B&W, one of my go-to apps for simple conversions like this.)

Ever have one of those days where you just want to curl up with a good book, instead of working? Sure you have. I’m reading Macaulay these days. Yeah, he had a seriously weird attitude towards the Irish, but he’s a damn good writer, very entertaining. I’d go so far as to say, I hate putting this book down once I get started.

It’s been stressful lately. Coding until all hours, lots of thinking and rethinking and technical backtracking. For an antidote sometimes I look out the window. Not for very long. Long enough to distract myself and forget what I was doing, or maybe take a picture of my poor frozen garden, which needs a good pruning. But the nice thing about a Buddha sculpture is that it looks good 365 no matter the weather.
